What Daily Problems do you have?

Here are some motivation strategies that may work for you:

Set goals. Be sure they are realistic and achievable. Make them small to start.

Establish rewards for progress toward your goals.

Expect set-backs and when they happen, re-direct and renew your energy toward your goals. Don’t give up.

Use the power of positive thinking and believe in yourself. Overcome discouragement.

Tell others what you are trying to accomplish and seek support from loved ones.

Learn to say no to options and distractions that deter you from your goal. Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal.

Establish routine and regular exercise; meditation, prayer or yoga, even if it is only 15 minutes a day to start. This will help you to cultivate discipline.

Use positive imagery to help you achieve your goals. Imagine yourself as you will be and feel when your goal is achieved.

Spend time reflecting or talking to others about what has stopped you from achieving your goals in the past.

Post reminders and inspirational quotes in prominent places about what you want to achieve.

Get professional help and support to overcome physical or mental roadblocks (depression and anxiety are just two examples) and to bolster your efforts, no matter how small they may seem.

Practice extreme self care. Good health is essential to positive thinking and feeling, which will take you a long way toward achieving your goals.

People are driven and motivated by many different factors and you need to discover what motivates you. Are you a self-motivator, do you get motivated better when others push you or praise you? Once you place value on what motivates you the most vs the least, then you can begin to identify Something that you want and Something that you can do about it with your means at hand, i.e. taking an action that is within your level of acceptable loss. (The the cost is minimal, if the action doesn’t work out.)

To end, here is a motivational quote: "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory" - Dr. Seuss
